Barcelona football club goalkeeper Joan Garsiya commented on the reactions from fans after his transfer from Espanyol to the rival club. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The 24-year-old goalkeeper's transfer was officially announced in June, with the deal valued at 25 million euros. Espanyol fans received this decision hard and expressed their dissatisfaction with the player moving to another Catalonia club.
In his interview, Joan Garsiya stated that he understands the Espanyol fans, feeling their pain and disappointment. He mentioned that if he said he hadn’t thought about it, he would be lying.
At the same time, he emphasized that he made this decision for himself, his family, and his future. If Barcelona manages to register Garsiya in the coming days, he could take the field in the first round match of La Liga, which will take place this Saturday, between Barcelona and Mallorca.
The situation surrounding this transfer once again demonstrated how strong the competition and loyalty are between football teams and their fans.
